I do most of my tests with my own engine so the sample file is to setup PolarEngine with added all options that is default and strictly don't need to be in the file. InitString should be set if the engine need to be feeded with any other command than the normal xboard\nnew .. For my engine I have a command 'polar' that enables comands that isn't strictly xboard f.ex. 'hash'. The hashsetting is also a polarengine command but this is quite common som many engine use it like this. Some without the last 'M'. The '%i' is where the hash number should be put in the string. The UCI-protocol say that this number is in MB. Hash is the default hashsize, the UCI-protocol recommend this to be a small number, but it isn't important on the GUI's I have tested because the adapter is getting the GUI's hashvalue before it set up the engine. Finaly the HashOnCommandline is a booleon switch you could set to true if the string you gave in 'HashCommand' should be put on commandline rather than as a command after the engine has started. Ex. 'gerbil.exe -ht 16' I don't have Gandalf so I don't know how this should be setup for this engine. Based on your setup I would propose this. [ENGINE] Name=Gandalf 5.1 Author=Steen Suurballe Filename=Wb2Uci.exe [OPTIONS] Program=Gandalf51 xboard HashCommand=hash %iM Edit=edit Logfile=true You could check the manual or start the engine in console mode to check how this hash settings should be if it is possible to set it. Also do a check if it need edit for setup the board. Most newer engine use setboard, but I have seen from log's that edit work. If it support setboard also it's better to use that because of the missing castling and enpassant information in 'edit'. Odd Gunnar
